• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EASYDMS004 - No authorization to delete user-independent filters ?

  The SAP error message EASYDMS004 indicates that a user is attempting to delete user-independent filters in the SAP system but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Document Management System (DMS) or similar applications where filters are used to manage data views.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, user authorizations are managed through roles and profiles, which define what actions a user can perform on various objects within the system. If a user tries to delete a filter that is not specific to their user profile and lacks the necessary permissions, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve the EASYDMS004 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This transaction will show the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to modify their roles. This can be done by:
  
  Accessing transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Finding the role assigned to the user.
  Adding the necessary authorization objects related to DMS and filter management.
  
  
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  The specific authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  S_DMS: This object controls access to the Document Management System.
  S_USER_AUTH: This object can control user authorizations for various actions.
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to delete user-independent filters.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to delete the filter again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP's official documentation for more details on authorization management and the specific authorization objects related to DMS.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this error or provide additional context or solutions.
  Training: Consider providing training for users on how to manage filters and understand authorization requirements in SAP.
